Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This timely Research
Agenda explores how to accelerate the creation of sustainable,
resilient, safe and prosperous cities. Looking towards the 2030
deadline for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, it
presents an ambitious way forward for researchers, identifying
opportunities for transformative change in cities and societies.
Global in its outlook, this Research Agenda systematically reviews
and critiques existing research on sustainable cities, calling for
greater engagement with a diversity of perspectives. It
interrogates foundational assumptions in the field and offers
reframed perspectives on sustainability. Chapters also explore
diverse approaches, actors and domains, locating emerging dynamics
and new directions for practitioners. Community empowerment is a
key theme, with contributions focusing on how to create socially
just urban governance procedures. Examining key case studies from
across the world, the book presents innovative suggestions for
accelerators of urban transitions, including sharing cities,
nature-based solutions, mission-oriented innovation and urban
living labs. Combining vital scientific insights with cutting-edge
policy and practice recommendations, this Research Agenda will be
an essential resource for doctoral students, researchers and
scholars seeking to be at the forefront of sustainable cities and
communities.
